Five For Friday – Lean On Me Videos

Posted on September 12, 2008 | 4 comments

I like hearing and singing Lean on Me – it’s fun, it’s encouraging, it’s just a good time.  Here are five video versions of Lean on Me for your Friday enjoyment.

This is for Sanity Found (Happy 30th Birthday – yesterday), Leaving Evangeline’s friend Amy who undergoes surgery on Monday, and Amber (weathering her own storm, but still celebrating with friends).  Here’s to friends!

The Original by Bill Weathers (likely the best version):

Club Nouveau (probably my favorite version):

How about Steven Tyler of Aerosmith singing with a church choir (never thought I’d see it):

The African Children’s Choir (we had them sing at our high school when I was principal):

From the movie Lean on Me (1989)( I would have liked this to happen at my high school):

Radar Love in the Twilight Zone – Two Great Videos by Golden Earring

Posted on September 10, 2008 | 5 comments

After posting lists about great songs, two friends of don’stuff commented about Golden Earring songs (neither on the top lists).  As a result of those comments, I thought it appropriate to find videos of the songs and share them for your viewing pleasure (the Radar Love video is funny – at least to me).  Enjoy!

This one is for Literate Housewife (Twilight Zone by Golden Earring):

This one is for Lucid Lunatic (Radar Love by Golden Earring – really funny):
